Zarif: The slain Harazi never made any decision without consultation and study Mohammad Javad Zarif, the former foreign minister, stated in the second part of the session specializing in the role of the slain Harazi in shaping foreign policy consensus: The slain Dr. Harazi was very eager to consult and listen to the opinions of others. One of our problems is that we talk a lot and listen little; But Dr. Harazi was always a good listener, and he listened to others more than he spoke. Therefore, the policies he pursued were well studied. Mr. Mustafavi rightly pointed out that the martyr Harazi never performed any reckless action; Because before every decision and statement, he repeatedly consulted and discussed with his friends and colleagues. During the Iran-Iraq war and after its end, when negotiations had just begun, the slain Harazi entered New York. At that time, we followed two paths of negotiation: the negotiation related to Resolution 598, which was conducted through the UN Secretary General; and the second track, bilateral negotiations between Iran and Iraq, which were conducted through the permanent representatives of the two countries in Geneva. In this negotiation, our colleague and dear friend, Mr. Sirus Nasri, was present on the Iranian side, and Barzan al-Tikriti, the brother of Saddam Hussein, on the Iraqi side. It was very important to us that direct negotiations with Iraq would not weaken the role of the UN. The killed Harazi was very sensitive to this issue. I remember that in August 1990, at the same time as the Iraqi attack on Kuwait, Dr. Harazi and I went to the island of Gotland in Sweden. Mr. Jan Eliasson, the UN Secretary General's special representative for the Iran-Iraq war, went to this island for a vacation.
